ActiveX interfacing with an in-process DLL

    In my current project, I decided to make an custom activeX
    control as a 'replacement' FeatureManager. (Its a custom treeview that
    allows numeric/boolean/listbox inputs within the tree, and I'll be
    putting it in a newly created FeatureManager Tab)

    I currently have all the code that interfaces the ActiveX with my SW
    API code bundled into the ActiveX, but noticed a considerable lag in
    SW feature generation/rebuild time from when the API-related code was
    run as a SW macro (In Process).

    The obvious fix here is to make the VB code as a plugin DLL,
    but what status does that leave the activex code?
    If the activeX code is started from an in-Process .DLL, is the code
    inside the activeX also now running in-process?

    Will I be able to access variables stored within the activeX code? And
    what about events?
